"Bulk upload" other data fields to populate supplementary data after PhotoID is matched

What Wildbook should this feature be in? Maybe all, but Flukebook please

What would you like to see? I’d like to “bulk upload” other data fields into existing encounters. So I could fill fields like social unit, sex, or basically anything with a simple excel with one column being encounter to refence, and the other headings as other columns.

How would this functionality help you? I could populate supplementary data into existing fields after the PhotoID has been uploaded and IDed. Often when we upload PhotoID to create new encounters, we are not sure who it is, but later match and then want to back fill information, but right now it has to be done one encounter at a time.

Hi @ShaneGero

We’re not planning on incorporating this as suggested, though there are plans to make the Individual page more robust in Codex so that this type of metadata is exportable and you don’t have to update each individual encounter to reflect these details. Thanks for the feedback!
